Good Morning, The Painted Bunting showed up on Wakefield Lane in
Bowie, MD. this morning about 7:35 AM and stayed in the area until I
left a little after nine. He left the feeder whenever another bird
would fly in... except chipping sparrows. I was surprised to hear him
singing while he was tucked back in the tangle of vegetation. Singing
very softly but singing and wondering where all the female Painted
Buntings are. A few photos are at this link.
